"My Name is my curse; Scarlet Xenia. My family is considered royalty in the vampire hunting society.   I am supposedly the most gifted of anyone who has ever bared the 'Sacred Xenia name'.  I received much praise, I am only 17 and have never missed my target.  Though, what my family, my mother, father, two older brothers, Mason and Liam, and younger sister, Virginia, don't understand is that I have never hit my target.  I never receive praise.  My target has never been the hearts of vampires, and every praise was an ache on my very soul.  How could I be praised on being a killer?  How does one go through something said to be so great, but is only filled with great burden, regret, and depression?"  What happens when she finds her beloved, Luke Carrow, but he just so happens to be a vampire?

Hi... My name is Aiden Jenkins. I am 18 years old. I live in a 'small' town Chico, and I go to Pleasant Valley High School. And I love playing Basketball. I have two close friends, Tristen. And Lizzy, who hates being called by her real name, Elizabeth... Seems like I'm just the average popular guy, right? And all this sounds pretty 'normal' so far, right? Well, I live with my grandmother and uncle and by that I mean, are they really my blood family? I realised very early on in my life that something was not right and nothing about my life was normal or average.. It all started with my issues. Yes, from early on I had anger management issues, which I always seemed to take out on my arch enemy, Colten. I was a real rebel. Then the nightmares and headaches started, soon before my sixteenth Birthday.. ~~~~~~ What would you do, if you actually knew nothing about yourself. I mean, you know who you are, but it always feel like the people closest to you know more about you than they are letting you in on. What would you do, if someday your life changes, and life as you know it changes, for the worst? A week after my sixteenth birthday, I finally got to hear the truth, about what I am, and how I came to be what I am now. I was everything but normal. It was the day I came face to face with reality. Imagine the people around you, your best friend, the girl you secretly love, looks at you like you are some kind of monster? There could be no worse feeling than that. I am not telling on anything yet, feel free to assume what I am, but I can assure you, you would be mistaken. As they say "All shall be revealed in good time." Curious? Well you will just have to wait and read my story. I am Aiden Jenkins, and so begins the story of the 'Cursed Blood'. ~~~~~~~~~ (Short Story)

50 parts Complete
Book one in the Bloodsworn trilogy So here's how life used to go: We'd go to school, study, have fun, fight the occasional hunter or two, and mostly deal with everyday highschool drama. Just by looking at us, all you'd see is a great group of friends dealing with the everyday tortures of life. But maybe you should've looked a bit closer. I'm Luna Pines, and I'm the last werewolf. My whole life I've lived in secret from everybody except my friends. There are 8 of us in total, Alayna, Caroline, Timberly, Jackson, Nick, Hunter, and Jay. I don't know much about being what I am, nor how to control it very well. But the one thing that always bothered me was being alone, there's nothing I want more than to share my gift with someone else, someone just like me. So when Luke Masters shows up at school, with a shock to his touch, it seems like paradise for me. That is, until his brother's baggage makes my life, and my friends lives, hell. And here I am thinking I've got everything pretty much figured out about being a werewolf, but I have much to learn. With Vampires, Sylphs, Revenge, and Alpha powers coming to drive me insane, I'm not sure what's right and what's wrong anymore. My friends are slipping, I'm slipping, everything I've worked so hard to keep normal has gone away completely. I've lost my grip on reality, and I'm being forced into the world of the paranormal. And with every passing minute I'm growing bolder and stronger. I won't go down like this. Who would you die for? ======================================== This is my first EVER book! WARNING: This book will be going under some extreme editing since it is my first idea and I changed my mind a lot through the making. So I apologize if you read something that doesn't make sense. Editing is finished. Have a howl and enjoy the story
